Hi,
I've just created a patch for the Ant source code repository which will
introduce the possibility to link to external log files from generated JUnit
test reports.
Our tests do not output to stderr or stdout but use Log4J to output all of the
debug information needed to find out which events led up to the failure of a
test. This patch enables developers to use the 'junitreport' generated JUnit
reports to click through to the log file associated with the execution of a
single test.
The patch introduces three new optional attributes to the junitreport ant task:
* logDir - The base dir for the test logfiles
* logPrefix - A prefix which may be used to distinguish the log files from the
test results.
* logPostfix - A postfix which defaults to '.xml' and can be used to
distinguish the log files from the test results.
If no prefix or postfix values are used the report generator will assume the
test class name is the name of the log file.
If a logfile cannot be found this will be silently ignored and no link to the
logfile will appear in the resulting JUnit report.
When a link to a log file does appear it is formatted in the same way as links
to stdour or stderr are formatted.
I would like to commit this patch to the Ant head branch, if there is any
interest for it. Please reply and i will send the patch ready to be applied.
